Re: What movie did you last watch?

I was very satisfied with that movie. When someone pointed out plot holes later it took some of the wind out of my sails, but more recently someone else made the point that when the core of or the main purpose/reason for a movie is an emotional message or theme or something to that effect, it's easier to be more forgiving of plot holes than a movie that's made to show off how clever/smart/thoughtout it all is. The Grey is definitely a movie centered around emotions/spirit/psyche first and foremost.

The Sitter.

Complete & total garbage, another name that rhymes with sitter would have been more appropriate. I've seen a lot of bad movies in my life and this one ranks right up there with some of the worst I have ever seen.

I already felt that two movies was pushing it, but three? I mean I'm excited to see whatever they come up with (I'm a big fan of their LOTR trilogy), but there's not a lot of source material with the Hobbit when compared to LOTR, and they don't have the rights to all of Tolkein's works (at least not The Silmarillion), plus they've already created at least one new character already to help pad things out. The more they deviate, the more nervous I get. But maybe it'll all be fine.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Got around to watching The Innkeepers..... not bad/not good, just kind of there. Basically a ghost story about a haunted hotel with better character development than the slasher flicks. While I appreciate a story over absolute gross out movies this one still is pretty slow and relied too heavily on jump scares.

You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....

I agree. I love horror movies but I was not impressed with this one. Lady In Black was much better IMO.

Who would have ever thought back in 2003 that the Hobbit would generate THREE MORE frickin' movies.

I'm glad that it's being made by all of the same people as LOTR, though. I love me some continuity when the stories are supposed to be happening in the same universe/storyline.

Like with Batman, re-casting (due to scheduling conflicts) Rachel Dawes will always bug me. Would have had more of an impact to see Katie Holmes in TDK.

I think 2 movies would have been perfect. Three seems to be pushing it for me, but if anybody can pull this off, it's Jackson. The big question I have is whether or not the story will flow well, leading up to the climactic battle in movie 3 (well actually it'll be 2 battles, 1 with the necromancer, and the one with the dwarves). IF they do this correctly, and use source material from the appendicies, then this could turn out really well. There is certainly plenty of information available. I'm really excited, and I'm praying that he does a good job with it. I think all of the material he uses is going to be really interesting for those who love LOTR, the key is whether it all fits together.

Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

Watched Hellboy again. Those movies are seriously underrated, perfect blend of big stunts and explosions you expect from a superhero flick with a bunch of snark and genuinely funny stuff. Ron Perlman as Hellboy's just genius casting.

Guiellmero Del Toro made it though, can't expect anything but just awesome. Pacific Rim's going to be stellar.

The Hunger Games - Though I found about a third of it somewhat entertaining, it's a pretty bad movie. Like they decided to do really obvious, less dynamic rip-offs of Battle Royale and The Truman Show, and thought, "That's enough for a movie." I guess there was some stuff cut to fit the running time (though it's still super long); can't tell whether that's character stuff that ends up sounding hilariously corny in the movie or thematic stuff that becomes dully obvious. I will give props to Jennifer Lawrence and especially Stanley Tucci, who was the only one who made the ridiculously hideous costume/art direction work. I found the love angle to be slightly more toned down than I expected (considering the demo) but it wasn't explored enough to be interesting. Not even getting into the poor effects or unskilled world-building, this movie was just lame, sometimes unintentionally hilarious (Heal him with the soup!), but lame.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Stanley Tucci seriously kills every single thing he's in. I don't think he could carry his own movie or anything necessarily, but he's really underappreciated.

In some of the movies I've seen him in, he plays his role so well (usually playing a bad guy) that I'm usually always frothing with hatred for him. When an actor/actress has made an audience member feel some type of emotion, they were successful.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Ice Age 4 - its starting to get to the point where it feels like they're just milking it for all they got with this franchise....

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - I was expecting it to be bad...and it delivered - terrible overall - don't really know why I made myself suffer by sitting through it till the end...

Sherlock Holmes 2 - so far watched only the first half of it and it feels like it is all over the place - can't say I'm so inclined to watch the rest of this disaster

The Dark Knight Rises - finally a good movie after all this crap I've watched recently. Loved the tone of the movie but for a movie about Batman, I would've liked to see more of Batman on the screen...
